BE 1500 PSI Hand Carry (Electric - Cold Water) Pressure Washer

This pressure washer was sold to us a an on-demand pressure washer. It runs at all times, not on demand.

I love having an electric washer to use, rather than lugging out the gas one. I liked this units design/size. The motor is a workhorse. The pressure "shut off" valve was a bad design and broke a few months after receipt. I bypassed the pressure switch, electing to run over to the unit and shut off manually, which worked for a few more months. The plastic water pump broke within a year. Parts are impossible to find. I felt really awful about throwing away a perfect motor when I couldn't find parts to keep this working.

I love the quietness. Pressure adjustment doesn't amount to much. Rare that you would want to go much less than 1500 PSI, then you would just use the garden hose.

The automatic shut off has given me trouble within the first two weeks. The pressure rod. gets stuck and leaves the pump in the off position. I freed it up but it got stuck again the next day. Hopefully it won't be a continuing problem. Customer service at BE was helpful.

If this problem subsides, I will be happy with the pressure washer

Very good portable pressure washer. Worked better than I expected and very easy to use.

Arrived with a minor issue, the plastic collar on the pressure hose was broken, PED shipped out a new hose the next day. Very pleased with this product and PED.

Auto start/stop failed after a couple of months. I do use it daily for mobile detailing and even though I have to go back and forth to tun on/off it is still better than using gas washer.

After a rocky start with poor packing and leaking oil, all is good.

PWD made things right and this was very much appreciated, thank you.

Nice pressure washer works great, very quite, good pressure for what I use it for. Over all seems like a good buy, if it last more the a year or two I will be very happy.

Mine came from a distributor in Florida, hope they get that guy straightened out, giving BE a black eye.

Thanks again PWD- a little good will go a long way.

Just received this pressure washer. Similar to last reviewer, this unit contains oil which was spilled everywhere on receipt. After cleaning the oil off, hooked it up, runs very quiet! Looks to be of good quality.

I bought this because I was getting sick of paying $200-$300 for a Karcher which seem to last less than one season. This unit is way quieter and more powerful than any Karcher I've owned before.

A bad experience turned good by PWD. I originally received a unit that would not build up pressure. That is why I rated the quality and value 3 stars. After PWD assisted with contacting the manufacturer I promptly received a unit that works flawlessly. They renewed my faith in Internet ordering.

The new washer is solid. It's quiet and works as a 1500 psi machine should. Time will tell if it is worth the price but I'm confident that this one is. I don't clean concrete with it but it works well on ATVs, vehicles, and other maintenance related activities and it is very easy to transport and set up.

I keep mine in an old steel Coleman cooler and it fits perfectly!

We use this in a screen print shop, & were tired of being nickel & dimed to death with the $160.00 to $200.00 units that had to be returned every few months for whatever, & any reason...

Thanks Joan, for all your help!

This is my first non-consumer pressure washer. I have grown tired of the yearly replacement of the Home Depot electric washer and the bi-monthly (!) replacement of the Karchers.

I was attracted to it because of the price but was hesitant to buy because of shipping issues people had reported in their reviews. My unit came quickly and was packed (although a bit messy with the shredded cardboard) well with no oil leakage issues.

The machine is quieter than I expected and seems to be of high quality. The pressure is good. I use it probably four times per week. Only time will tell if it holds up, but with the ability to change pump oil and replace parts, hopefully with good maintenance, it will last a long time.

I would certainly buy more if there aren't any problems within the first few months. If I had anything to complain about, it would be the shipping notification. PWDs order tracking continually listed my order as being processed with no other info. The morning this status changed to having a tracking number was the same day that it arrived. Not a big deal.

Very happy overall.

Over the last four years I've had two consumer grade electric pressure washer died on me. Since I need it regularly I'm hoping this prosumer model will last a long time.

I received it a few days ago and the shipping issue has been cleared up. There was no oil leakage and everything was wrapped in heavy plastic. However as mentioned below the instructions say to "replace the red shipping plug with the yellow one" is confusing because the yellow one is already in place and because the variable pressure knob is red.

Otherwise it was easy to get it up and running. It really is very quiet running. The construction is nice and has be sold handle and feel.

Performance is good, not amazing. Each time you pull the trigger it takes a second to build up the pressure which I have not experienced with other pressure washers. I like the variable control. I will probably replace the gun tip, it's not as good as my previous washer.

I would buy this model again but hopefully I won't have to!
